The Multiscale Fabrication Science & Technology Development Department, 5229, is seeking a passionate and motivated Postdoctoral Appointee to drive device measurements as part of an established and diverse team that includes physicists, engineers, and chemists. The candidate will work on a project exploring the materials origin of coherence-limiting charge noise in semiconductor quantum-dot-based qubits. To accomplish this, this project correlates electrical measurements of quantum dots with sophisticated material characterization.
Candidates will be encouraged to contribute significantly at the forefront in the following areas:
- Development and execution of electrical measurements of gate-defined nanoscale devices in cryogenic environments and at high speed.
- Design of both quantum-dot devices and other structures which build a detailed picture of the dot environment.
- Development of materials improvements to suppress charge noise and extend coherence.
On any given day, you may be called upon to:
- Assist in characterization of quantum dot-based semiconductor spin devices to support fundamental science projects investigating semiconductor-based quantum information devices and quantum materials.
- Meet and coordinate with the teams fabricating, characterizing, and measuring the devices, as well as the theorists who model the device behavior.
- Significantly coordinate with the expertise of the team to meet deliverables, which will supplement the candidate’s area of research to contribute to the team and their success.
Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite.
